LIPTON DENIED ANOTHER
RACE FOR AMERICA'S CUP
New York Yacht Club Declines Challenge be
cause of Limit on Length of Vessels British
Sportsman May Send Another.
New York, March 12, Sir Thomas Kip
ton's challenge for another rare for tho
America's cup, the premier trophy of
the yachting world, was Jccllncd by
the Now York Yacht club to-nlKht.
This action was taken, the club an
nounced, becuuso the challenger did
not comply with conditions or tho
deed of nlft, which governs all con
tests for the cup.
The declination of the present chal
lenge, however, It was stated by mem
bers, did not necessarily mean that
no cup race was In prospect, as tho
club was In anticipation of an unre
stricted challcimn from a Itrltlsh kci
tleman other than Sir Thomas Upton
The club's only official statement
related to tho reason for tho declina
tion of the Upton challenge, which
was forwarded by tho Uoyal Ulster
Yacht club for Sir Thomas. The
statement rend-
"Tho New Yotk Yacht club has ic-
dined this challenge, because It Im
poses as n condition that tho defend
ing vessel shall not exceed 7r. feet
letiKth on the water lino, and thereby
deprives the defending club of tho
rlKht kIvcii It by the deed of sift to
select :i vessel of such size as It
pleases provided she be not less
than US nor more than 00 feet on the.
water line.
"Tho club has cabled Its reply to
the Uoyal Ulster Yacht club. As It
would be Improper to make this reply
public before it is received by tho
Uoyal Ulster Yacht club, it cannot be
fclven to tho press until to-morrow

The club's action to-nichl was taken
at a meeting attended bj more than ITO
members. Only boat owners were entitled
to vote. Forty votes were ca.st, and all
were airalnst acceptance. Their refusal
WILSON AND BRYANTmXOMBS TAKES
ALREADY DISAGREE! AN ACTIVE HAND
Secretary of State Would Set i Chairman's Presence in Wash
Date for Independence of j ington Causes Unusual Inter
file Philippines. est in Appointments.
Washington, March 12, One of the
first material difi'eretices to arise be
tween President Wilson and Secretary
Ilryan concerns the policy of this ad
ministration toward the Philippines.
Secretary Ilryan believes that some
step should be taken without delay to
declare the put peso of the United
States to giant complete Independence
to this Philippines, and would oven ko
bo far as to set a specific date by
which such Independence) should be
granted.
President Wilson, on the other hand,
believes that this Is a case whero it Is
wise to make haste slowly anJ to
avoid doing anything which might
make necessary stultification of tho
word of the United States when the
time set had arrived, or which might
prove the occasion for profound re
gret While Piesident Wilson has not ex
pressed himself specifically regarding
the I reposed trip of Inspection to the
Philippines, it is believed that when
he has had time to consider It ho will
be heartily In favor of It, as It seems
to accord with his general views on
the subject. I
DIl'l'KHUNCl-; NOT HITTER.
It Is not to be Inferred that them is any
thing Ulttir about the difference of opin
ion which has developed between the
President and the premier member of his
cabitii.t. That is not to lie expected, at
lean this early In the administration.
Uoth arn big men and both have had am
ple warning, so they are not likely to fall
out etisllv, iviu though they may Uike
dlamctrii ally opposite views.
So far as can be learned, tho Presi
dent's view of the Philippine situation Is
the one which will find most favor with
the majority In Congress, irrespective ol
the Mimewhat "itilvocal clauso which Mr.
P.ran wn.te intu the Ilaltimoro platform.
The I'n .iii in iini conference yester

ton desires a rnrodilcrabln amount of In
formation, In the preparation ot which
the bureau of insular affairs, by di
rection of SoL'irtnry. tiarrlf-on, la now bus
ily engaged.
Mr. (iatrKon did not discuss with the
I'rcsldfiit the question of Philippine in
dependence, and he later intimated that,
after all, that wah a question peculiarly
within the province of Congress. Speak
ing for himself, Mr. Harrison said that
lie bad no doubt that the administration
would adhere to the policy on Indepen
dence for the VilipinoU when they were
capable or Mlf-government. but ho ad
mitted that the (ineslion when they would
attain that capacity presented a decided
ptoblem.
The Impression about the While House
yesterday was that the subject would not
be taken up at this special session of
Congiess, hut would be left over until
December

Phlllppln -n by the President at this time

was a rcptltlon or tho club's action up
on the I.lpton challenge in 1W7. which
likewise stipulated for craft under tho Co
rnet mark as challcnuor and defender.
Sir Thomas sent the threo Shamrocks
to this side of the water tn a vain ijuest
of the cup nsalii3t !0-foot deronilors and
has contended that a yacht of the 00
foot typo cannot bn constructed on tho
other side and btousht across with isafeiy
to the crew without a sacrifice or some
of her rncitiK qualities to the strength o:
construction necessary for an ocean voy
age. In his present challnnue Sir Thomas,
through th secretary ot the Uoyal Ulster
club, has specifically stipulated th
length of his yacht on load water line
us "7.1 feet" and her typo as "cutter."
He had purposed following up tho line
o' Shamrocks by naming tho prospective
in cneer Shamrock IV.
. ' forwarding this challonKe," Secre
tai;. I'atterson of the Uoyal Ulster Yacht
club wrote, "I am desired by the com
mittee to gay that It Is snit on condi
tion that the cup will bo defended by a
acht with a length on load water line
not exceeding 75 rent "
The challenge stipulated the same
jcKUlatlons "as covemed the last contests
tin lM) und which proved to bo eo
satisfactory, namely, the best three out
of live r.icts over the same courses with
like starts and other details."
The dates picked were September 10,
September 12 and September 10, Kill, with
further races to be sailed on each follow
ing Thursday. Saturday and Tuesday
until finished.

had the challenge under consideration is

Pressure of Party Leaders Re
sults in Throwing1 Down the
Bare for Other Subjects
Than Tariff Reform.
Washington, March 1 2. President
Wilson has doeldod upon a policy of
meeting legislative developments as
they arise rather than planninK a. pro
nram for the extraordinary session of
Congress This, It was learned from
White House callers to-day. will be
the President's answer to those who
are arging that currency legislation,
Philippine Independence, Alaskan ques
tions and other subjects be taken up
during- the session of the new Congrc.s.
The President was advised by Itep
resenta'ive Oscar I'nilerwood, the
democratic majority leader, that the
ways nnd means commltteo was mak
ing rapid progress, but that It might
not bo ,-eady on April 1, the date orig
inally fixed for the opening of tir new
Congress. Mr. Underwood thought that
at leaM a week moro should be given
to preparation of the tariff bills an.i
as it was on bis advice that Mr. Wil
son tl.i d upon April 1, there Is mi
doubt that he will name n later .!n.
when issuing his pioclamatlon it.
sentatUe Underwood believe.- i,n
tariff reform alono should be attempt
ed at tho coming session. As he left
the White House, Ueprcucntatlvn Jones
of Virginia, who Is i haiiipionlng the
cause of Philippine Independence, mot
him and sought to impress upon him
the necessity for some action on that
iUestion during the extra session. Mr.
Jones secured an appo.ntmeut with the
President for Friday when ho will fur
ther urge Philippine legislation.
The net result of the pressure for ac
tion on otlvr things than the tatiff litis
been the adoption of a policy of meeting
the legislative situation is It unfolds in
the new Congress. The President will
send first a mi ssage pointing out the
neeeshlty for tariff revision and will fol
low this with a series n' . essitges upon
specitic things which he believes Congress
may be able to act upon without unnec
essarily prolonging the session. This
course :s said to have been approved at
to-day's cabinet meeting.
The suggestion that only tariff revision
be attempted arose from the fear that
other subjects might becloud anil Inter
fere with the tariff question- Assur
ances havo been coming, however, from
Miiiinis quarters, principally the Senate,
that the anticipated dlllictilty with the
tariff may not materialize after all. Tho
reorganization of the Senate, with con
trol of the ciinmlttecs in the hands of
senators who ;jo In close sympathy with
the . lmlnlstrailon, Is .vald to he one of
the i Ireumstnnus from w hich the conclu
sion has been drawn that the tariff as
well as other q lesllons may he disposed
ol without sre.it dltllculty.
Tt was a day of many calleis for tin
Prc.'lent nnd while most of them weie
members of Congress being consul, ud
aboi.t patronage questions some talked
legislative policies, and others came
met ly to pay their respects. Among these
win- "Uncle Joe" Cannon, former speaker
of "ie House, who said good-bye to tho
I'nsldent before departing to his home
In Danville, 111. The former speaker In
